steviej Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 for halogens I prefer PIAA Xtreme White Plus, but they come at twice the price of silverstars. steviej
silvermate Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 did you notice a big differnce in how the street and your headlights looked compared to the stock lexus bulbs? i noticed a huge difference....... the stock bulbs are yellow, the Silverstars are bright white, you can def. see the differnce on the roads and the street signs,a much brighter and whiter look one think i have noticed about the silverstars is they need to be broken in, for some reason the longer you have them in the brighter and whiter they get....i've also noticed that when looking at the bulb they have an outter purple ring now around the beam pattern, looks really clean (i've had em in for about 2 years) i had a buddy put some in his LS and we compared the two....... mine were much more brighter and whiter than his, this was the same when i put them in the Xterra about a year ago, but now they are solid white and very bright. they really look great.

silvermate Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 hey blake will you take a pic of your Piaas in the daytime and nightime, for me? i want to compare them to my Silverstars. just shoot em over to my email, when you get time. thanks bud.
blake918 Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 Absolutely!! ;) I have Silverstars in my ES3, and I don't think they are as bright as the PIAAs in my LS, but part of that problem might be that my projectors in the ES are hazy. :chairshot:
camlex Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 between Piaa and silverstar which one i should go with?? Thanks,
steviej Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 between Piaa and silverstar which one i should go with?? ← Now that I have used both. I'd pay the price and go with the PIAA Xtreme White without a doubt or a second thought. steviej
Martin Bolhuis Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 Have a look at http://www.danielsternlighting.com The definitive expert on automotive lighting including comparison of light output. I upgraded the wiring harness to the headlights. Higher output bulbs may actually have less light output from less efficiency due to wiring. I found that the best standard wattage bulb out there (which makes them legal) is the HIR technology (Halogen Infrared) they are absolutely wicked! They are documented to have 88% higher output than OEM on the low beams and 60% on the high beams. Don't make the mistake of buying IPF brand as the quality is inferior. Phillips is great quality. I don't think Sterns website lists them for sale but he does sell them. If you email him he is great with replys and help and the price is way under a hundred bucks a pair.
